Local elections 2018: Labour holds Birmingham City Council

Labour, which also gained Southlands from an Independent, is now the main opposition on the council with seven seats.

There were bright spots for Labour - including its best performance in London since 1971 and victories in Kirklees and Plymouth - but the party failed to match pre-poll expectations of widespread gains.

"We have a number of important areas to work on but the message is very much continuing to do what we have done and that has been reflected in the votes".

Despite losing two seats overall, the Conservatives continue to hold a majority with 28 of the 37 seats on Worthing Borough Council.

Mr Corbyn's party lost Nuneaton and Bedworth - an area that often indicates the colour of the government at general elections - as well as Derby and fell short of gaining control in areas like Swindon, Dudley and Walsall, where they had hoped to establish middle England strongholds.

She added: "The people of Adur have been calling out for a change and we are providing them this change".

The Conservatives have retained control of Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster and Wandsworth despite strong indications that Labour were liable to seize control of the traditionally Tory councils.

"Last year, we gained our first councillor in Worthing for 41 years and now we have more Labour councillors in Worthing than ever before so the future looks good".

The Liberal Democrats have regained control of Kingston Council, taking a host of seats from the Conservatives.
